Pisa International Airport “Galileo Galilei”, International airport in San Giusto, Italy.
The Galileo Galilei International Airport sits roughly 1 kilometer from the center of Pisa and operates two asphalt runways that handle flights across Europe. The terminal houses 16 gates for both Schengen and non-Schengen departures and arrivals.
The airport opened in 1911, making it one of the oldest operating airfields in Italy. During the Second World War the site served as a base for United States Army Air Forces.
The airport takes its name from the famous astronomer and physicist born in the city, whose work shaped modern science. Travelers often use this gateway as their first stop before exploring the region's art towns and vineyard landscapes.
Reach the terminal using the Pisa Mover, an automated shuttle service that links the airport to Pisa Centrale railway station. The trip from the airport to the city center takes just a few minutes.
The facility operates as both a civilian airport and an Italian Air Force base for transport aircraft. Separate areas on the site support both types of operations.
